Honda Pilot Oil Change Richmond VA

When we talk about oil changes, you may not even realize the key fact that you can choose between three different engine oil types! This is something that our service technicians will gladly discuss with you further, and all you have to do is ask a question. The type of engine oil you are likely used to is traditional, which has been used for decades, and is something we recommend if your Honda Pilot is on the older side and not brand new. On the other part of this spectrum is synthetic engine oil, which is completely manmade, and works to deliver better performance, and less corrosion over time. You'll be able to go longer between oil changes because of it! The final option is sem-synthetic oil which, you guessed it, is a combination of the two! No matter your decision, our technicians can't wait to help.

This is the kind of question that we always recommend you look at your owner's manual for before anything else. Your owner's manual tells you all of the ins and outs of your Pilot, and we always agree with what the manufacturer says. However, our service technicians will also be here to listen to you talk about your driving habits, and maybe any issues you've had in the past, too. A lot goes into an oil change schedule, and we want to make sure you always get it right. At the bare minimum, everyone should be getting an oil change at least once a year. Depending on the type of oil you're using, this could jump to twice a year, or even more often if you are someone who is driving your Pilot more than the average person. Every 5,000 miles is a good starting framework, but this will always change depending on the model year, mileage, and other factors that we can discuss with you in person.

You know more about types of engines, and how often you should be getting an oil change, but why does this matter in the first place? The engine in your Honda Pilot is made up of many small, metal parts that move incredibly quickly to get the job done for you. Without engine oil in the system, these parts touch each other, creating friction which turns into heat. That heat can be incredibly damaging to the system as a whole, and that can be incredibly costly. Engine oil is introduced to reduce heat, reduce damage, and keep things moving easily without any delays. Fresh oil is vital to the health of your Pilot, and it's about time you got on a scheduled maintenance routine.

As you should be able to tell by now, getting an oil change is not something you want to put off. The more you can get into a routine with your Pilot, the better.
